Door Hangers

Giraffe is always looking to produce and supply new products, so, during the Christmas break we thought of a new product 'Door Hangers'.

Ok, maybe not new to the market, but a new product line for us. We produced a couple of styles to set off with, but this is by no means the limit.

The first one, trial, was printed to vinyl, (using our Roland Versacamm VS-420) mounted a 400gsm board and cut with our Graphtec FC8000-60, which we also use sometimes for kiss-cutting labels to your desired shape as singles.

 

The second was printed to vinyl, gloss laminated and mounted to a 1mm plastic, and then cut with our Graphtec.

 

 

If you would like further information on these please feel free to contact us either by email jason@giraffepress.co.uk or phone 07850 757605 and we will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a Happy and Prosperous 2013

Photo Board Project

One of our latest projects was this Photo Board for Coombe Mill

The art was created by Tim Stead them emailed to us here at GirffePress

We printed to permanent block-out white vinyl, matt laminated and mounted to 10mm white Forex board. The vinyl was kiss cut ready for the cut outs of the face holes. Finished size of the photo board was 1291mm x 954mm.

For further information feel free to contact GiraffePress, visit Coombe Mill (and while you're there have your picture taken, as a farmer, pig or goat, or better still, take the whole family down for a break and all have your picture taken), or Tim Stead or illustrations.

Where do our Banners go?

Here at Giraffe, we produce many banners, and other products, for a whole range of clients, including designers and printers. We know who our clients are and what they do, but we do not always know where our banners will be exhibited.

So, it was very exciting that one of our products is being displayed in John Lewis (Oxford Street) today by our new client Zebra Ceramics.

Zebra Ceramics do all things ceramics, as the name suggests, whether you want to paint pottery, create mementos with your little ones hand and foot prints, celebrate a birthday party, plus much more.

'A'-Frame Banners

We were recently asked by Fox Davies Estates to supply 4 banners which could be used outside and also that could be hung if necessary at another event inside or out. We suggested our 'A'-Frame banner system.

The frame is aluminium (25mm tubes) with reinforced plastic mouldings, and is a simple 'push fit' assembly with plastic 'flush-fit' connectors.

The frames can be fitted with either 1 or 2 banners, which are secured by 'bungees'

The great thing about using this system is that it can be used time and time again, and with a different banner for the occasion, no need to buy more hardware.

The system comes with the bungees, for attaching your banners, guide pegs, and comes in a carry-bag. When used in conjunction with the 'guide-pegs' the system will withstand winds of between 18-24mph - Beaufort Scale 5.

If you would like further information on this, or any other product please email us jason@giraffepress.co.uk or visit our website www.giraffepress.co.uk.

To Proof or NOT to Proof

Is it necessary to proof and re-proof? In my opinion yes very much so. By proofing, even if it is a repeat order, both the client and the printer are safeguarded against any errors.
Over the years proofing and re-proofing has proved to be an essential part of producing what the client needs/wants.
Most clients have a busy schedule, and print becomes the last thing on their minds, even to the point that they sometimes do not remember what exactly they were supplied previously, meaning, that they may have wanted a change for next times product, or maybe they have had a phone number change. By re-proofing a previously printed job means that they will notice/remember that a change was to be made.
With regards to a new job, a proof is of paramount importance, yes, we the printers/designers do make errors, as we all do, no one is perfect.
Although sending a proof may add to the timescale it saves both the client and printer valuable time and money.

Happy proof reading.
